What is the matter with the Green Party?

If you are concerned about the direction of this country and think we need Barack Obama, you might be interested in this item out of Georgia. Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, an out-spoken African-American, gained the national political stage last week, "winning" the presidential nomination of the U.S. Green Party at its national convention in Georgia. She couldn't get re-elected to her Congressional seat in an all-black district in Atlanta, and now she is not only running against Obama, but Ralph Nader, too. McKinney, a strong advocate for civil rights in the United States and abroad has been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League for surrounding herself with racists and anti-Semites. Her slogan will be power to the people. I guess the Green Party thinks the best way to fight poverty and promote civil rights is to help defeat Obama. If you have never heard of the Green Party, fine, don't bother to find out. If you are in the Green Party, too bad. It's time for the Green Party to fold its tent.
